Investors Flock to Cryptio: The Crypto Accounting Revolution You Didn’t See Coming!

by

Pray, What to Know:

  • In a most remarkable turn of events, Cryptio has secured the sum of $15 million in an extension to its Series A funding round, which first graced the financial world in June of the year 2022.
  • The noble aim of Cryptio is to furnish traditional financial institutions—those venerable TradFi entities—with the necessary back-office operations and infrastructure, thus enabling them to proffer digital asset products. One can only imagine the delight of such institutions as they dip their toes into the waters of modernity!
  • Many a keen observer anticipates a veritable surge in the number of banks offering crypto services, particularly in light of the recent repeal of the U.S. SEC’s rather infamous SAB 121 accounting rule. Oh, how the tides of fortune do turn!

Indeed, the crypto accounting platform known as Cryptio has raised a most impressive $15 million, adding to the already substantial sum of $25 million amassed during its Series A round. One must commend their efforts, for it is no small feat to attract such capital in these uncertain times.

Leading the charge was the esteemed existing investor Alven, with the addition of new patrons, namely 1kx and Ledger Cathay Capital, who have joined this merry band of financiers, as Cryptio graciously informed CoinDesk via electronic missive on a Wednesday, no less.

Cryptio’s ambition is nothing short of grand, as they endeavor to provide traditional financial institutions with the means to offer digital asset products, including stablecoins, crypto-backed loans, and even crypto savings. One can only hope that these offerings do not lead to a scandalous affair akin to those of yore!

As for the repeal of the SAB 121 rule, it has been met with much jubilation among the crypto industry, for it had mandated that a company holding a customer’s crypto must record it on its own balance sheet. Such a decree could have wreaked havoc on banks’ capital allocations when dealing with crypto clients. The uproar from the crypto community was palpable, as they lamented the lack of guidance from the SEC regarding the application of securities laws to these digital assets.

Thus, the repeal of this legislation is being hailed as a most auspicious sign of the evolving regulatory landscape for cryptocurrency in the United States. One can only hope that this heralds a new era of understanding and cooperation between the traditional and digital realms of finance. How delightful it would be if all parties could find common ground, rather than engaging in a perpetual game of cat and mouse! 😏
